Swap BCH to ZEC in three steps without creating an account. You see an estimated amount before you send, the exchange runs automatically once your deposit confirms, and the ZEC goes straight to the wallet address you enter.
Enter the amount of Bitcoin Cash you want to swap in the widget above. It shows an estimate of the Zcash you will receive on the Zcash network at the current floating rate, with the payout network fee already taken into account.
Paste your ZEC wallet address and check it twice, because blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. If the coin needs a memo or destination tag, a field for it appears. xswap.to never asks for your private keys.
Confirm the order and send your BCH to the one-time deposit address on the Bitcoin Cash network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the ZEC is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Bitcoin Cash (BCH) for Zcash (ZEC) here takes one transfer from your wallet: no exchange account, no balance to deposit and no withdrawal queue. You choose the receiving address, and the ZEC goes there once the swap completes.
Rates are floating, so the amount shown is an estimate that can shift slightly while your Bitcoin Cash deposit confirms on Bitcoin Cash. The payout is sent on Zcash, so check that your Zcash address belongs to that network before you confirm.

1 BCH
≈
0.2051196 ZEC
At the latest hourly update, 1 BCH converts to about 0.2051196 ZEC. The figure comes from the floating rate and already allows for the payout network fee. Rates move, so the widget recalculates the estimate when you enter your own amount, and no account or registration is needed to swap.

As of Nov 10, 2026 19:03 UTC, 1 BCH is worth about $224.28 and 1 ZEC about $1,003.50, so 1 BCH converts to roughly 0.20512 ZEC. These figures move with the market, and the widget shows the live estimate before you confirm.
Pay in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) on its own chain and receive Zcash (ZEC) as the native coin of the Zcash network, at an address in your own wallet. There is no account and no ID upload to start. A common reason to swap BCH to ZEC is privacy: every Bitcoin Cash transfer is public, while ZEC can be moved into Zcash's shielded pool once it reaches your wallet.
Both coins trace back to Bitcoin's code. Bitcoin Cash split off in 2017 to allow bigger blocks, and wallets usually show its addresses in CashAddr form, starting with bitcoincash:q. Zcash adds zero-knowledge proofs for shielded transfers next to transparent ones. Two separate chains make this a cross-chain swap. For the payout, a transparent address starting with t1 is the safe choice, and a shielded or unified address works only if the widget accepts it. Neither coin uses a memo.
Most of the wait sits on the deposit: Bitcoin Cash targets a block about every 10 minutes, and the exchange starts once your BCH confirms. Zcash then pays out with blocks targeted at one every 75 seconds. The floating-rate estimate you get before sending already has the margin and the Zcash network fee for your payout taken out, and the final ZEC can shift slightly if prices move before confirmation. Every step shows on the order page, along with the transaction ID.

Not on arrival if it lands at a transparent t1 address, because transparent Zcash transfers are public in the same way Bitcoin Cash transfers are. Your BCH deposit is visible on its chain as well. Move the ZEC to a shielded address in a wallet that supports shielding to get Zcash's privacy.
Only if the widget accepts it, because many payout systems take transparent Zcash addresses only. If the u1 address is refused, most wallets that create unified addresses can also show a transparent t1 address for the same account. Receive there, then shield the coins yourself.
It will not count as a BCH deposit, and getting it back may not be possible. Bitcoin Cash addresses can be written in the legacy format starting with 1 or 3, the same as Bitcoin addresses, so a BTC wallet may accept one. Contact @xswap_to on Telegram with the transaction ID right away.
No set time applies, but the Bitcoin Cash deposit usually sets the pace, since that chain targets a block about every 10 minutes. After the BCH confirms, the exchange runs and ZEC goes out on Zcash, which targets a block every 75 seconds. The order page shows which stage your swap is in.
Yes, choose the Bitcoin Cash listing on BNB Smart Chain as the coin you send. It is a BEP-20 token with a 0x deposit address, and the gas for sending it is paid in BNB. The ZEC payout is the same native Zcash either way, but never send BEP-20 BCH to a native Bitcoin Cash deposit address.
Neither is needed to start: you enter a Zcash address, send BCH to the one-time deposit address and wait for the payout. In rare cases the exchange partner's compliance check can pause a swap and ask for verification. xswap.to never asks for your private keys, seed phrase or Zcash viewing keys.
